Scholarships

Scholarships are mostly awarded on basis of academic merit. They are very limited in number & goes to the best student with the best academic profile. At times other criteria like Work Experience, IELTS/TOEFL scores & Extra Curricular activities are also considered.

There are limited numbers of scholarships awarded by Universities as most of them are government funded state universities so funds are limited. For example many UK Universities offer scholarships for International students however these are subject specific and awarded on merit basis. Mostly the scholarships are given for Postgraduate &; Research programmes however certain bursaries/scholarships are available for undergraduate courses also. Amount of bursary/ scholarship as well as number and closing date of applications for an award varies from university to university.
